Ah... ok... I have some custom scripts that take care of doing the right
thing depending on where I am (home wireless or work wireless)... and in
redhat 7.3 and earlier, the gui couldn't configure wifi properly... Check
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth? where ? is 0 or 1 or whatever
your interface is (most likely 0).  There should be a line:
KEY="s:yourkey" where "yourkey" is the string representation of your
key... You may be able to get some info from iwconfig eth0 (as root) as
well.. I'm not sure since I'm currently not runnign wireless so I can't
take a look at the output.
